A car accident, our family of three crossed

Chapter 213 It’s fun to watch

When Hang Shuheng heard Song Ning mention that Chen Laoer wanted to learn to read, he asked him to see if there were any simple and easy-to-learn calligraphy copies, and find a few for Chen Laoer to look at and study on his own.

Therefore, Hang Shuheng simply called Chen Laoer to the study, personally wrote some calligraphy strokes and gave them to Chen Laoer, asking him to practice the strokes first and then practice writing, as reading and practicing calligraphy cannot be rushed.

"We don't usually live here, so this study is empty anyway. You can pick up a book and flip through it when you have nothing to do. Practice the strokes I taught you, and then find some simple words from the book to practice writing. Use the pen and paper in this study to practice!"

Chen Laoer didn't expect that his master would teach him personally, and even demonstrated writing in person, and let him watch from the side. He held the calligraphy post written by his master in his hands, as if he had found a treasure, and nodded excitedly, "Thank you for teaching me, Master. I will definitely study hard and live up to the expectations of you and Madam."

Hang Shuheng nodded and said, "As long as you are willing to learn, I can teach you. For now, practice the most basic strokes. If you don't know how to read the words you will write in the future, I will explain them to you next time I come over."

He thought that after returning, he would also let Shuisheng and Mudun learn from him. Perhaps, he could make a booklet of calligraphy teaching and let them learn it by themselves first.

Just like the calligraphy practice books of later generations, there are detailed tutorials for each step, from strokes to stroke order and then to a complete character, which even a child who has just regained his blindness can understand.

The more Hang Shuheng thought about it, the more he felt that this was feasible. Perhaps if he took this idea to a bookstore, he could make some money. It just so happened that his family was short of money recently!

He thought it was necessary to go to various bookstores in the county to investigate, so he said hello to Song Ning and went out again, "An Ning, I'm going to go out for a while and come back soon, you guys take a rest here first."

The first destination was the largest bookstore in the county, Wanjuan Bookstore.

When the shopkeeper saw Hang Shuheng coming in, he greeted him with a smile, "Hey! Hang Tongsheng, you are here again. Did you forget to bring anything this morning?"

Today, he received the manuscript copied by Hang Tongsheng, and his smile never faded. He didn't expect that Hang Tongsheng actually wrote in two fonts. The handwriting was really good! At that time, he also strongly recommended some books.

"Boss, I'd like to see if you have any calligraphy books suitable for children who have just regained their sight?"

"Oh! Is it that the young master in the family is going to be blind? You have asked the right person. We have everything you need in Wanjuan Bookstore. Just wait." The shopkeeper praised himself without blushing, and then found a lot of calligraphy books and placed them in front of Hang Shuheng, "Take a look, is there anything you need here?"

Hang Shuheng casually flipped through the posts and found that they were all written in whole characters, and not a single one was written with separate strokes.

"Is everything here?"

As far as he could remember, there were no such posts in that era. Wanjuan Bookstore was the largest bookstore in the county. If there were no such posts here, it would be even more impossible for other bookstores to have them.

"These are all calligraphy books suitable for children to practice. If you don't like these, don't look at the others. They are too difficult for children who have just recovered from blindness to learn them."

"Okay, I understand." Hang Shuheng picked up a book at random, "This is it! Shopkeeper, can you give me another copy of Thousand Character Classic?"

"Okay!" The shopkeeper brought him the Thousand Character Classic and, when paying the bill, he joked, "When you have finished your studies, if you want to copy books, come to our Wanjuan Bookstore to take the job!"

"The shopkeeper is joking."

After paying the silver, Hang Shuheng came out of Wanjuan Bookstore. He then visited other bookstores and finally returned to his house.

When he came back, they were ready to return to the village. Before leaving, he handed the calligraphy he brought back to Chen Laoer.

Chen Laoer was flattered when he took the calligraphy copy. He didn't expect that his master would still think of bringing him a copy of calligraphy after going out. He was so excited that he couldn't express it in words.

Chen Laoer's sister-in-law went into the city for three consecutive days and wandered around the house. Finally, she made a great discovery.

It turned out that the owner of the house did not live in it, which meant that in such a big house, only her uncle and his family lived in it.

Then when the master is not around, wouldn't they be like the owners of the house and can do whatever they want in the house?

She suddenly had a bold idea. Wouldn't it be better if she could move in? Such a big house would be empty anyway, so she might as well live in it.

This matter needs to be thought over carefully. If she goes there rashly, her eldest uncle and his wife may not let her in. She has to find someone they cannot refuse.

Chen Laoer's sister-in-law's eyes rolled around with calculations, and she came up with an idea. Finally, she glanced at the gate of the house and turned and left.

She had to go back and bring her parents-in-law here. She didn't believe that they could stop her from coming in when her parents were at the door. When the time came, they would move in as a family. Then wouldn't they have the final say in this house?

If they could sneak one or two valuable items out of the house and sell them, they would be rich. When they sold the items and left with the money, if the owner of the house found that something was missing, he could only blame them.

The more she thought about it, the more feasible it seemed to her. She walked back faster and faster, wishing she could get back to the village immediately. For the first time, she felt that the way back to the village was so far.

Early in the morning, Zhou Ru went to Shangtang Village as promised to pick up Song Ning and Yang Yang, and also took Mu Dun with them.

In the carriage, Mudun glanced at Xianghuan from time to time with a scrutinizing look.

This made Xianghuan confused. She thought that she had offended this little adult somewhere. But when she thought about it carefully, she didn't seem to have done anything to offend him.

When the carriage passed Xiaoquan Village, the driver deliberately slowed down the speed, just because Xiaoquan Village was having a lively scene at that moment. The driver accompanying them today was Zhou Yin, who knew best that the two women in the carriage loved to watch the fun, and what was more, the protagonist of the fun was exactly what they were interested in.

Before they could ask, Zhou Yin took the lead in reminding them, "Miss, Madam Hang, something happened up ahead. It seems that Zhang Cuiju was beaten up..."

Sure enough, when they heard it was Zhang Cuiju, they became interested and lifted a corner of the curtain to look outside.

A group of people gathered there pointing and talking. Through the crowd, I saw Zhang Cuiju, with her clothes disheveled and her hair disheveled, being dragged and beaten by a strong woman, who kept saying some ugly words while beating her.

"You bitch, you dare to steal men and come to me. Don't think I will let you go just because you act crazy and stupid. Since you like to seduce men so much, I will take off your clothes and let all the young and old men in our village open their eyes."
